[Peace-discuss] The Party's Over

[Paul King]

I just watched a movie last night that I think everyone on this list would
enjoy called "The Party's Over". It's a documentary with Phillip Seymour
Hoffman as the spokesperson who drags a camera crew around the country
during the 2000 presidential selection.

There's some amazing shots of protests in there. They cover parts of the
Republican Convention, Democratic Convention and the Shadow Convention.

Some interviewees are: Ralph Nader, Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), Susan
Surandan, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Julia Butterfly, Floyd West Crow Westerman
(Dakota), Bill Maher, Adora Obi Nweze, Billy Baldwin...an insightful and
*phenomenal* speaker called Minister Robert Muhammad (Nation of
Islam)...Bianca Jagger (spokesperson for Amnesty International), Noam
Chomsky, Ben Harper, Willie Neslon, Ed Robertson (Barenaked Ladies) and
Michael Moore.

There are a lot of moving speeches, including one by the country singer
Steve Earle who gives a heartbreaking intro to a song.

Beware, you will feel like wrecking some shit after watching this.
